Question: How much do we know compared to how much there is to be known!?
This is a rhetorical question, at best, to give us pause to consider the fact that we can't possibly know what we don't know, by definition alone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We don't know nor will we ever know!. In my opinion!.!.it'll remain the same ratio!. New things will be discovered and old things will be forgotten!. It's a large cycle that has no answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A very good epistomilogical question, yet the answer is contigent on knowledge being a quantifiable concept!. knowledge as a concept is one with a huge gap between the it's rigidity as a regularily used term, and the complex and ambiguous nature of it when looked at through a more philosophical perspective!. the fact is that it is quite likely impossible to view out current 'knowledge' as a percentage of knowledge, especially when you consider that we can create knowledge and the potential for which may be infinite!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
